Question

James practiced piano for 48 minutes. Alisa practiced for 5 times as long as James. How many minutes did Alisa practice? How many minutes in all did James and Alisa practice? Write an equation to model your work.

Answer 1

48(5)=n 
when n= the amount of time that Alisa practiced the piano. 
Alisa practiced for 240 minutes.  

48+240= t
Where t stands for total minutes altogether.
In total, they practiced 288 minutes
